Clean up personal finances like a bookkeeper
A CPA Bot agent logged into brokerage and Venmo accounts, downloaded statements, classified expenses, matched receipts, and prepared TurboTax amendment instructions.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- The CPA Bot received login access to Vanguard, Fidelity, Morgan Stanley, Venmo, accounting software, and Evernote. It downloaded hundreds of statements on its own, compared the 2024 return to IRS records, found duplicate charges and misclassifications, matched Lowe's receipts, traced transfers, sorted rental expenses into repairs versus improvements, read and tagged scanned receipts across 5000 notes, and pieced together lot costs from bank records, Venmo notes, a deed, and a shared spreadsheet. It produced ready-to-import fix files and step-by-step TurboTax amendment instructions for the user to apply.
- How it went
- It saved over a hundred hours, caught missed interest on a Morgan Stanley 1099 before any IRS notice, and organized the finances more thoroughly than a human CPA.
- Worth knowing
- Best for occasional large cleanups, not monthly use.
